Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

Regarding fixing it too, you could replace the BMS or whatever term you’re used to using for the balance circuitry for the battery but would suggest checking out this thread:

You’d want to check out each of the cells if possible (via balance lead connections or otherwise with a voltmeter) to make sure things are good. For the most part the biggest risk working with 18650s is shorting something especially once your series connections are made since it is a relatively high voltage thing then and with low resistance shorting across the +/- can deliver a lot of amps and become an unintentional spot welder.
